Harrogate Access Platforms reacted to an emergency call out that came in at 3pm on the 17th November.
Fire teams had attended to put out a house fire on Sandmoor Drive, Leeds.
They couldn’t access onto the land with fire trucks in order to make the building safe so the property could be searched by their dog team.
We actually organised this job through a face time call in which I was shown the relevant information I needed to see.
They originally wanted to access from next doors drive but I soon established the outreach required was too great for the 33m tracked spider
I asked if they could show me the front of said building and we organised between both companies that we would be able to get the tracked machine in to a relevant area to be able to access areas of concern.
My arse was on the line from a video call so I needed to get the call right.
Luckily we are probably the most experienced in the industry when it comes to spiders due to working off our machines daily for the last 7 years.
I turned out to be correct on my call and we did reach everything required but we needed every ounce of the PB33.15/300s outreach once we got the tricky set up sorted.
Happy fire brigade and happy teams that worked on this specialist project in difficult circumstances.
We were onsite for 6pm after sending all relevant documentation required.
The works went very well and the building was made safe for a dog team to enter.
I can happily report nothing was found during the search which was fantastic news for all concerned.
